My Thank You

I’d like to thank all the people who thought I could pass 5th grade. That is why I am making this post.

So first I’d like to thank Mrs. Smith for saying this: You know that you can do anything that you are willing to put forth a little more effort than maybe what most kids seem to. That made me feel great about myself and that I could do anything if I just put some effort into it.

Next I’d like to thank Ms. Roper for telling me: I’ll be cheering for you and I bet that all of your teachers at House will be too! That made me feel like I had many friends by my side at all times.

Also I’d like to thank Sam D for this: I am told all the time that I can't spell my way out of a paper bag, you know what... it's true. I think it’s good for someone to admit that they had a problem.

Now I’d like to thank N. McKeand for giving me these words: Just work hard and don't be afraid to ask for help from your teacher when you need it. I think that is very true many children are afraid to ask for help from their teacher so it’s good to ask when you need help.

I’d like to thank Mrs.Peddle telling me this: You seem very smart and insightful to me. That is very special that you told me that it makes me feel good about myself thank you Mrs.Peddle.

Next on my list to thank is Mr.Kuropatwa for his saying this: It takes great strength of character to overcome the foolish and hurtful comments that people sometimes make. You are right about that it does take great strength to overcome something like that that is way I remember that till this day what he told me is hurtful but it does give me strength to try to overcome anything in school. That is why I am thanking you.

Next is Steve Dembo he told me: Because you have several friends here in Chicago, Illinois who enjoy reading your work and share it with each other. Thank you for telling me that it’s good to know that there are people in different places I can depend on.

Now I’d like to thank Pat Street for these words: I really think that people are either good spellers or terrible spellers for life. This made me think if I am a good speller or not hmmmm… So like I was saying thanks a lot.

Next I’d like thank Tim Merritt for saying this: That change comes from *you*, not from what he said. These words really helped this made me realize that my brother can’t make a change in me only I can.

Now it is Mrs.Hooper’s turn she said this: Your attitude is and always has been terrific! Thank you so much for your kind words most people say I got a bad attitude but I see that you don’t think that so I am thanking you for that.

Now Collin Bonner here is my thank you to you for this: Reading will be one of the most rewarding skills you will learn and the more you practice the better you will be. I always think that if you don’t succeed at first then try again till you get it. Thanks for your encouraging words.

Last but not least Paula Willis for these words: You're going to be a good student in the SIXTH GRADE next year! I chose these words because you think I can pass this grade and I thank you for that very much.

Now the last person to thank is Kathryn Blades for these final words: You get better when you practice. I think this is a good saying because my parents always say that and I think my parents are very wise.

Now I’d like to thank once again all of the people who I say thank you to today for telling me that I can pass any task that comes my way I just got to try my best.

Patrick, I think you did a great job on this post. I am going to show it to my college students so they can see how you used a little bit of what everyone said in your message. I wish they could do it as well as you did!

To determine a grade for sntuetds teachers that are finishing up quarter one, the supervisor should be able to decide to give a pass or fail in the field based on what that sntuetds teacher has done. The observations should be considered a huge part of the student teachers grade, because this is where the supervisor gets to see the teacher in action . If the student teacher follows his or her lesson plans and adjusts them to the sntuetds while he or she is teaching, as well as containing all the components to a good lesson plan, then i would consider this student teacher successful for their observation. Also if the student teacher hands in other assignments on time, but even if it is late a day, I would not fail this student because now a days student teachers are expected to take on a huge work load. Writing and planning these lessons which are so in-depth takes a long time, then having to reflect on them takes even longer. Just as I give my 5th graders a little extra time if they need it to complete a homework assignment. Although it is important to teach young student teachers as well as young kids that deadlines need to be met. In order to be professional it is important to be on time. The student teachers TWS should be considered a huge part if they pass or fail. If the student teacher has all of the components done, I believe they should pass even if some need a little correction. This is a field where we are learning everyday and failing a student because they tried and did something wrong is not going to teach them. It will just make them hate their teachers, but then again if they do not complete parts of it, they deserve to fail because we where given such a long time to complete these assignments and provided with sources to get help if they needed it. Im not sure if this is what you were looking for but these are the things I would look for in a student teacher to decide if they pass or fail.

Our teacher sugesgted that we come up with 3 things that interest us and then come up with science projects that have to do with our interests.Ex.
